Love British Food is a leading player in effecting change in the way that food is sourced. It also leads British Food Fortnight, which is taking place from Friday 26th September to Sunday 12th October 2025.
Neel Radia, chair of the NACC, said: "We are delighted as an association to be working in partnership with Love British Food and being part of their Hospital and Care Catering working group.
“Now that sustainability is high on the agenda in care homes, there has never been a more relevant time to be in partnership with Love British Food, so that we can support our members in accessing more resources and knowledge to achieve a more sustainable future."
Both organisations believe in nutritionally sound, seasonal menus with as much of the ingredients as possible being gathered from within Great Britain, ideally locally. Going forward, the NACC will co-chair the Hospital and Care Catering working group.
Alexia Robinson, founder and chief executive of Love British Food, added: "There is a huge appetite for buying British, particularly in the public sector. We have worked with lots of the leading care home organisations and the NACC for many years and are delighted that with Neel’s leadership, he wants to take our partnership to a new level.
“We have appointed him joint chair of the Love British Food Hospital & Care Catering Working Group and are now working closely together on plans for British Food Fortnight. We will be encouraging all care homes across the UK to take part in the national food celebrations this year."
